The National Weather Service said Tuesday afternoon that some parts could get nearly 6 feet of snow by Thursday. Some areas, including south Buffalo, Lancaster and West Seneca, have already reported more than 3 feet of accumulation, and the "incredible" weather could bring a total of 70 inches to the hardest hit towns.

The New York State Thruway, closed between Exit 46 near Rochester and Exit 59 near Fredonia, has now extended its closures south to Exit 61. Traffic is prohibited in both directions.

Buffalo Bills players joked about getting "a light dusting," and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin posted a photo of himself shirtless in snow up to his knees.
